			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h1>Top 3 Best MMA Shorts</h1>
<p>Honestly, there&#8217;s too many awesome mma shorts out there. The market is just saturated with awesomeness. But that&#8217;s a double edged sword because there&#8217;s just too many to choose from! Which shirts are the best? If we had to decide only three brands to train in for the rest of our lives, we would choose these. We take into account function / mobility, style, quality, and durability.</p>
<h2>1. Hayabusa MMA shorts</h2>
<p><a href="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/hayabusa-mizuchi-fight-mma-shorts.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-43" title="hayabusa mizuchi fight mma shorts" src="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/hayabusa-mizuchi-fight-mma-shorts.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Hayabusa owns the top-rated mma shorts for a reason. You!  People have time and again voted them to the top of the best mma shorts lists!  They offer excellent performance and unmatched style.  Multi-directional stretch fabric and a really unique and cool wasiteband system (plus their odor-proof properties) make Hayabusa shorts our top chice for the best mma shorts.</p>
<p><a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1j9q">For more details on Hayabusa MMA Shorts, click here.</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>2. Sprawl MMA shorts</h2>
<p><a href="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sprawl-fusion-II-Fight-mma-shorts.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44" title="sprawl fusion II Fight mma shorts" src="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sprawl-fusion-II-Fight-mma-shorts.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
Sprawl was one of the first mma fight short companies.  They revolutionezed the game and what is standard in the industry now was created by Sprawl.  Their newest offering includes 4-way stretch fabric, extremely soft (yet durable!) material, a slip-proof waistband, and their typical, yet awesome, flex panels!  They don&#8217;t offer the graphics or frills of other brands, but they are one of the best shorts out there.  They are starting to come out with some cool new designs (such as the one above) that look very promising!</p>
<p><a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1j9s">For more details on Sprawl MMA Shorts, click here.</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>3. RVCA MMA shorts</h2>
<p> <a href="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/RVCA-VAS-Fighter-mma-Shorts.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-47" title="RVCA VAS Fighter mma Shorts" src="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/RVCA-VAS-Fighter-mma-Shorts.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1j9t">For more details on RVCA Shorts, click here.</a></p>
<p> RVCA not only sponsors BJ Penn, but they make some pretty awesome shorts.  They own our no. 3 spot because of this.  Their shorts feature cool patches (not just screen pressing) that won&#8217;t wear or tear.  They also feature a quality closure system, a very CLEAN look (similar to sprawl), contrast color flex panels, and cool trim along the bottom of the short.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We hope this list has been helpful and if you have any other shorts that should be added to this list, PLEASE post them below!  For other mma shorts, <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1j9y">click here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h1>Choosing the Best Cup for MMA Training</h1>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>I thought wearing a cup was for sissies?</strong></div>
<div>Although groin shots are DEFINITELY illegial in MMA, there are a lot of times that accidents happen.  Even when training in Brazilian jiu jitsu, wrestling, or nogi grappling, it&#8217;s not uncommin to get a shot in the groin.  Your best bet is to protect yourself at all times (this goes for you too ladies!).  Most gyms that we&#8217;ve been to require you to wear a cup to participate in class.  Even if they don&#8217;t require cups, we&#8217;d be hesitant to participate in live sparring or rolling without one.  If you choose not to, you have nobody else to blame when you get injured,</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>So what is the best cup for MMA?</strong></div>
<div>With that said, cups have really progressed a long way since their inception.  You could be fine with any cup that you get from your general Dick&#8217;s Sporting goods or other type of store.  The thing is that most cups are solid all the way through.  We&#8217;ve seen plenty of people stop wearing them because they&#8217;re uncomfortable while rolling or kicking because they rub against the edge of your groin area.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The top cups today for mma have a hard front with padded sides.  We would suggest looking into Jaco or Shock Doctor.  Scroll down for more information on these brands.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Okay, so you&#8217;ve sold me on the cup.  What type of strap / shorts should I get?</strong></div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div>Compression shorts are much more secure than your traditional jock strap, but they are also much more expensive.  Along with the increased expense is also the benefit of moisture wicking fabric to help keep your dry (VERY nice for long training sessions).  We would suggest trying both and seeing which you prefer.</div>
<div>
<p><strong>Those cups your mentioned aren&#8217;t made out of steel.  I thought I needed a steel cup?</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re doing full contact kickboxing, you can look into them.  We know a lot of Muay Thai practitioners who swear by them.  But, they are definitely way more than you need for BJJ or grappling.</p>
<p>Other than a mouthguard, there really isn&#8217;t anything you need more than a cup.  Get used to wearing one if you ever want to compete.  Most competitions (except for the IBJJF) require you to wear them.</p>
<h2><strong>Below are 3 great options for anybody looking into buying the best cup for mma:</strong></h2>
<h3>Good: Shock Doctor Ultra Supporter with Power Carbon Flex Cup</h3>
<p> <a href="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/shock-doctor-ultra-supporter-with-pwoer-carbon-flex-cup.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33" title="shock doctor ultra supporter with pwoer carbon flex cup" src="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/shock-doctor-ultra-supporter-with-pwoer-carbon-flex-cup.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1j9b">Shock Doctor Ultra Supporter with Power Carbon Flex Cup</a></p>
<p>For those of us on a budget, the Shock Doctor Ultra Supporter provides the top cup technology with a high quality jock strap system.  It doesn&#8217;t have all the bells and whistles of a compression short, but it does its job and, as this is something we have PERSONALLY used, we can attest that the cup is the best out there.<br />
 </p>
<h3>Better:  Shock Doctor Ultra LAX Short with BioFlex Cup<br />
 <a href="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/shock-doctor-ultra-LAX-short-with-bioflex-cup1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32" title="shock doctor ultra LAX short with bioflex cup" src="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/shock-doctor-ultra-LAX-short-with-bioflex-cup1.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></h3>
<p><a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1j9a">Shock Doctor Ultra LAX Short with BioFlex Cup</a></p>
<p> The Shock Doctor Ultra LAX Short with the Bioflex cup is one of the best bang-for-your-buck groin protectors.  You can use it for grappling or striking or for both!  There is rubber in the waistband and the legs to keep them from riding up.  While light and airy, the material is strong and durable enough to survive the most intense training.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Best: Shock Doctor Ultra MMA Padded Compression Short</h3>
<p><a href="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/shock-doctor-ultra-mma-padded-compression-short.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34" title="shock doctor ultra mma padded compression short" src="http://mmaapparel.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/shock-doctor-ultra-mma-padded-compression-short.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1j99">Shock Doctor Ultra MMA Padded Compression Short</a></p>
<p> These shorts are amazing first because they keep your cup in place while the shorts move along with you.  Welded compression foam protects your inner thigh and outer hip from impact (PERFECT for those who train striking or are new to MMA).  Just like the Ultra LAX model, rubber grippers keep the short from sliding up your leg or getting twisted around during training.  The short is made of 4-way stretch material that is light and airy, smooth seams, and a high quality and durable cup pocket.  This is definitely the best cup for mma.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>4. Rashguard</p>
<p>MMA Rashguards help make rolling a good deal more enjoyable than just a regular t-shirt does. Rashguards don’t stretch out and also pull away perspiration &#8211; it’s Difficult rolling in a drooping, saturated t-shirt. MMA Rashguards are designed to be really put on snug to your own skin, appearing a second skin. The material also happens to be incredibly heavy duty in order to really roll on the ground for jiu jitsu and grappling. Examples of the top of the line Rashguards have particular traits like antimicrobial coating, but they are listed too high for newbies. Everlast has created an good standard MMA rashguard that may be relaxed, durable and extremely cost-effective at the 1 / 2 the price of other brand names.</p>
<p>5. Training gloves</p>
<p>Again Everlast is on this listing, since they have a good number of beginners MMA gloves that happen to have alike features as compared to higher priced designs. These are one of the better boxing gloves you can get with regards to entry level MMA and furthermore flexible to be utilized to carry out thai pad work or sparring. The Everlast pro style MMA training glove has new elements of design designed for ease and comfort, essential safety and sturdiness.</p>
<p>All these solutions actually are great concerning beginning MMA. While not the absolute best apparel out there, a number of us are very enthusiastic about any of them because of the fine quality but a lower cheap pricing. Consider MMAapparel.org for that coming article covering the Ten Best MMA apparel, where as expense is absolutely no object.</p>
<p>Word: Headgear, leg pads, mma fight gloves (competition) are not covered here for almost always a new gym must have these to borrow. It&#8217;s just not that crucial you have these of your own as you are just starting up MMA. Brazillian JiuJitsu Gi’s aren&#8217;t addressed since it is just not 100 % imperative to MMA. In order for you to buy your own Gi, however check out our article on How to choose your own Brazillian JiuJitsu (BJJ) Gi , it offers a comprehensive breaking down of the items to consider and FAQ.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Here is a help guide to absolutely essential gear that you will want to start out regarding Mixed martial arts.</p>
<p>A lot of <a href="http://www.mmaapparel.org">mma apparel</a> advised here&#8217;s far better than items you would expect to decide to buy at the basic sports equipment or shopping area, but also at a very comparative cost.</p>
<p>Remember, what is important is Personal safety. Actually, I know a number of people who all do not go with a cup or mouth guard, which isn&#8217;t intelligent, considering this is truly a full-contact sports activity. Actually, all the competitions expect at least a cup and also mouth-guard, mma along with boxing at experienced leagues and local community matches.</p>
<p>1. Mouthguard</p>
<p>I would say the Shock Doctor mouth guard &#8216;s a best-selling decision and now we actually feel it is actually among the best leading quality for a low charge. Any time you continue to persist with training along with your skill level accelerates, it&#8217;s possible you&#8217;ll eventually need to have a custom-made guard. At the same time, the Shock Doctor will most likely be just enough for newbies, since you definitely won&#8217;t be taking part in heavy live training.</p>
<p>2. Cup</p>
<p>Shock Doctor accounts for this particular area also. With a compression short rather than a strap, their very own method is amazingly cozy and durable. While there are some various other highly-priced systems out there, just like the Nutty Buddy, a lot of people advise using a shock doctor for first timers as it would be less costly, less complicated, and also commonly utilised.</p>
<p>3. MMA Shorts</p>
<p>Although a lot of adult men and women train in running aka gym shorts, Mma shorts are far less irritating, have a more appropriate draw string, and usually include split seams for bigger ability to move or flex panels to help with your performance of the MMA activities. Sprawl makes an amazing MMA short, they&#8217;re constructed specifically to always be durable and resistant enough for the best arduous grappling and boxing. And also they boast the usual elements of a high-quality fight short: a mouth guard pocket, a very comfortable draw string along with Velcro closure, also split seams .</p>
